  Honda RC211V GP - Feature Review - Motorcyclist Online
Honda's dominance was a fitting reward for the boldness the firm showed in choosing to develop a V-five in 2000, after the rule change allowing 990cc four-strokes had been confirmed.
Honda quickly decided against a single or twin due to their lower performance; and against a six because that would have meant a weight 10kg above the 145kg figure for fours or fives, making tire problems likely.
Honda still refuses to give cylinder dimensions of the dohc, 20-valve unit, but has confirmed that the five cylinders are the same size (rather than the rear pair being slightly larger, as was rumored).
